Thank you David & Bill: I am using PuTTY so the tunneling is a little different. Just an FYI for those not familiar with tunneling and using PuTTY.
In PuTTY, create your session to the InterMapper server. - Under Connection, SSH, select Tunnels - Check "Local ports accept connections from other hosts" - Add new forwarded port -- Source Port: 8182 -- Destination: InterMapper_Server:8182 (click Add button) Open your session to the InterMapper server. Enter in your browser: https://localhost:8182.
